My friend Vance Walton took this picture of me on Sunday, while I was taking a break from the action and decided to sit down for a few minutes. Even with the hat, and sunscreen, I still managed to get a nice sunburn on my face during the bright sunny days of the show.

There was a large crowd present for the Sunday show. As you can see, the place was packed. Where's Waldo?
